Computer Advice

Maylong and Wiley Publishing seem to think that there’s still plenty of room for improvement in making GPS devices more user-friendly, with the pair recently introducing their first device under the “GPS Navigation for Dummies” brand. While it’s not entirely clear what makes this particular device (dubbed the FD-35) so dummy-friendly, it does at least seem to be decent enough, with a 3.5-inch screen, maps of the US and Canada, 2 million POIs, an SD card slot, and a built-in MP3 player and eBook reader (and no, we’re not sure what’s up with the Italian interface either). No word on what it’ll cost, though Maylong says it should be available this October, with a beefed-up 4.3-inch model expected to follow sometime thereafter.
